I talked with a Borough of Avalon official regarding on going and proposed beach projects.
1) Beach paths in the southend of Avalon are being elevated to similar levels as the surrounding dunes. Â There were concerns during Sandy that the paths could become a route for the ocean to flow into the street (thankfully, it didn’t happen).
2) Avalon officals are working on securing a dredge for a beach fill project for the north end of the island- hopefully coordinating with Ocean City to move the equipment after their project is completed. Â The timing is up in the air, yet an early summer time frame is likely. Â If scheduled, the Borough will maintain safe beach access on as many streets as possible during the beach fill.
